Travelling to Edge Hill
Situated close to Liverpool and Manchester, where international flights land daily, Ormskirk is well placed for our international students.
Many companies offer reduced-rate flights for students and we suggest you contact them as well as your local travel agent to find out what is available.
When making plans to get to Manchester or Liverpool airport you should consider how long it will take and how much it will cost, but try to pick a convenient option. Travelling through London may seem cheaper initially but it can be very difficult with lots of heavy luggage.
We strongly advise you to fly directly into Manchester or Liverpool if possible. They are major international airports to which many airlines such as KLM have direct flights. If your long-haul flight arrives at London Heathrow or Gatwick, please ask your travel agent about an “add-on” shuttle flight to Manchester or Liverpool.
The Centre for International Education offers a meet and greet service for students arriving at Manchester or Liverpool airport as well as local train or bus stations. To book this free journey you should contact the Centre for International Education as soon as your travel plans are confirmed.
The town’s National Express bus station easily connects you to the rest of the UK, while the rail station offers direct trains to both Liverpool and Preston, which are both mainline stations with connections across the country.
The capital cities of London and Edinburgh take around 3 ½ hours to get to.
